Buzz,
Read this all the way though, understand it, and you will be well rounded on Holleyology:

Let's see a photo of each side of the setup you have so we're
all on the same page.
Just off hand, it sounds like you may need to look at your accererator pump adjustment.
I looked in your gallery. Where did you get those hub caps? My friend is looking for a spare one.
Please tell us what the list number of your front and rear carb is.
